Ep 23 | The Value of Connecting on an Individual Level

September 15, 2020

It’s all about connection. Today we welcome Chris Skelding of the Sales Leadership Team at Hyatt Hotels and discuss the importance of connecting with individuals to create a more efficient workplace, and how that ultimately translates to a more successful business. While we are often told to separate our personal life from business, Chris reminds us that as a leader, “you have to take care of yourself. If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others and you can’t be present.” With a lifelong career in hospitality, Chris has always been surrounded by people who are eager to act and solve problems. He has experienced firsthand the importance of laying the groundwork with his team and building personal connections that allow them to move forward and achieve a more productive and cohesive work environment.

“You have to take care of yourself. If you don’t take care of yourself, you can’t take care of others and you can’t be present.”
